"The Irish Twins"
Description:
Third in the acclaimed “Twins” Series which teaches young readers about different cultures.
With Irish twins Larry and Eileen, we enjoy a visit to Granny Malone's and puzzle over the letter she has received from her son in America, a letter that sets the wheels in motion for all sorts of adventures. Along the way the twins encounter gypsies and discover a pig stuck in a bog that brings a change in fortune to their family. While following Larry and Eileen on their adventures, we gain a vivid understanding of the close-knit community life of the Irish countryside, as it existed a century ago.
This book is the third In The “Twins” Series. During the early part of the twentieth century, Lucy Fitch Perkins (1865-1937) wrote a series of children's books known as "The Twins Books." Each of the 26 books in the series featured a set of twins, each in a different country or time in America's past. The main purpose of these enjoyable stories seemed to be to make life in foreign cultures and past times easily accessible to "modern" American children. In “The Irish Twins” Perkins teaches young readers about the rich family oriented culture in Ireland in the early 1900’s and includes narration of delightful and classic Irish folktales along the way.
Hand edited, text only edition.
